In her quest to discover the truth about the First Nations/Settler divide, Pegi's bonds to the natural world provided the anchor for her thinking and writing process. She sees herself as part of a new generation who are “awake and aware” and combine social justice with peacemaking and other spiritual paths. Ancient Spirit Rising also examines New Age ideologies and the phenomena of cultural appropriation, and how a return to earth-emergent practices can often replicate the same colonial patterns we are attempting to undo. Instead of appropriating from Indigenous people, there are more balanced ways to re-land ourselves, and Ancient Spirit Rising offers resources and modalities for authentic self-identity in the revival of a specific heritage or ethnoculture. In fact, what better place to source the tools and worldviews we need moving forward, than from our own Ancestry? In the wisdom of the past we may find the seeds for the future.

Reviving our ancestral ways can be our best strategy in an era of massive change and climate disaster. For all who hear the “call of the wild,” or are yearning for a more intimate relationship with the land, today’s exciting movements in animism, rewilding, voluntary simplicity, eco-living, and sustainable community can all be found in Ancient Spirit Rising. An all-inclusive blend of cultural studies, social commentary, decolonization, nature spirituality and practices for recovering the Old Ways, Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community is a compendium for change!
